HOT Petition! Demand the U.S. Senate OPPOSE and FILIBUSTER JUDGE KAYATTA nominated by President Obama, for his anti-Christian, pro-abortion, pro-homose xual rulings. Select, sign and we will fax all 100 Senators instantly (saving you time!)

If all 8 Republicans hold firm, we can win! Senate Judiciary Committee Rules require one member of the minority party, just one Republican can betray us by supporting Kayatta, voting with the Democrats to stop debate in committee, to forward his nomination to the full Senate.We need all 8 to hold firm.

After we scored a great victory in 2012 by STOPPING President Obama's Judge Kayatta from being confirmed in the U.S. Senate, he has done the unthinkable:

President Obama has just re-nominated the pro-abortion, pro-homose xual Judge Kayatta for promotion to the First Circuit Court of Appeals, to rule over Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Puerto Rico, and Rhode Island.

The Press Herald reports: "Republican leaders have invoked a rule -- used by both parties over the years -- in which one side blocks some federal judicial nominations, typically before a presidential election.

"Dubbed the Thurmond Rule by many, the strategy is a way for a party to delay filling judicial vacancies in hopes that their presidential candidate will win the election and nominate someone of their party's choosing.

"Obama renominated 33 candidates, insisting that many of them should have been confirmed before the Senate adjourned. Because Thursday was the first day of the new Congress, the nominees will need endorsements again from the Senate Judiciary Committee."

But we know Kayatta's real flaws, which we reported in depth below. We've already delivered over 50,000 petitions in 2012 against Kayatta and Obama's liberal judges.

Can you help us send 100,000 fax petitions to all 100 Senators this year?

2. Kayatta argues that judicial salaries must doubled to "attract and retain those relatively few talented persons we need as judges."

3. Not only should the number of judges be doubled but judges should be allowed to raise their own salaries with a ruling from the bench.

4. American judges' salaries should be based upon pay scales of foreign judges.

5. Judges are above "we the people" and should not stand for Election but should be appointed by legislators only.

Soon the Senate, after the election, will reconvene for its lame duck session.

With so many Senators retiring it is very likely even probable that Harry Reid and Obama will try to sneak Kayatta past the American people. Carl Tobias, a professor at the University of Richmond School of has said that if a vote is allowed on Kayatta there is no doubt that he will be confirmed. That is, unless we demand a Republican filibuster, and stop the vote. Please help us petition all 100 Senators NOW, before the lame-duck session begins.

Conservative Senators can hold the line against Kayatta, by invoking the "Thurmond Rule," which prevents any judicial conformation vote until we after the presidential election.Harry Reid hates the rule, and tried to trick the Conservatives into breaking the rule, by scheduling a vote on a less controversial nominee with bi-partisan support: Judge Robert E. Bacharach.

If Harry Reid is successful in getting ANY nominee though the Senate, even one who has some conservative support, then the "Thurmond Rule" will be broken giving Reid unlimited power to force a vote and sneak Kayatta into office.That's why we must take a stand, to OPPOSE AND FILIBUSTER ALL OF OBAMA'S JUDGES at least until after the election.

Let's petition all 100 Senators today, asking them to uphold the "Thurmond Rule" and filibuster any attempt by Reid to confirm any Obama nominee.

Our friends at Judicial Action Group (JAG) are warning about another activist liberal judge being pushed for promotion by President Obama to the First Circuit Court of Appeals, ruling over Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampsire, Rhode Island, and Puerto Rico.

Judge William J. Kayatta must be stopped. Please call your 2 Senators at 202-224-3121 to say "Oppose and filibuster BOTH judges, Kayatta and Hurwitz."

JAG warns: "Kayatta takes the elitist view that Judges should be paid twice as much as U.S. Senators....Kayatta will not be satisfied with 'just' a: "100% raise from current compensation..." he wants more of our money for himself and his elitist friends. Kayatta...approved and edited the White Paper: "Judicial Compensation: Our Federal Judges Must Be Fairly Paid," [which] report expresses the elitist view that judges should be paid more than Senators and Members of Congress because judges "are not supposed to be average."...Kayatta also argues that judicial salaries must be doubled...

"Pursuant to Kayatta's judicial philosophy, Judges may raise their own salaries by legislating from the bench. Kayatta wrote: "A case can be made that the Constitution requires a raise in judicial compensation to ameliorate the diminution which has occurred over time as the result of inflation." [But he's wrong, since] the Constitution prohibits judges from raising their own salaries...

"Kayatta was a member of the American Bar Association Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary when that committee...rated Elena Kagan as 'Well Qualified.' Kayatta appeared before the Judiciary Committee to present the Kagan evaluation, and Senator Jeff Sessions took issue with Kayatta over that evaluation."

"Sessions pointed out to Kayatta that...Kagan was grossly unqualified..."I found it difficult to understand how when she did not meet those qualifications that [Kayatta and] the Committee reached the highest rating for the highest court."...

"Kayatta's ABA Report Defends Kagan in Baring Military Recruiters from Harvard. Kayatta helped draft the ABA Report on Kagan that was submitted to the Senate. The report gratuitously raises and defends the issue of Kagan's role in barring military recruiters from Harvard Law:

[Kayatta defended why] "Harvard Law School had a long-standing policy denying placement office services to any firm or organization that refused to hire students for reasons including known sexual orientation. [Kagan] enforced the policy...In other words...Dean Kagan demonstrated any type of bias that would cause us to question her integrity under our standards."

[Kayatta complained about Christians who fired three activist pro-homose xual Iowa judges:] "In the wake of these developments, three Supreme Court justices in Iowa were ousted in 2010 after interest groups, most from out of state, spent nearly a million dollars to unseat them owing to the court's unanimous ruling in a 2009 gay marriage case."

[But JAG says Kayatta's] "Paper does not address the fact that the Iowa judges' 'gay marriage' case amounted to brazen judicial usurpation of legislative power. The voters properly exercised their legal ability to remove these errant judges. Without such remedies, the radical activism of judges - like the Iowa judges - would surely proliferate."BOTTOM LINE: Kayatta is clearly a pro-homose xual, activist judge who not only complains when Christian citizens vote-out activist judges, Kayatta wants to increase the power of activist judges to double their own salary and enforce pro-homose xual policies by legislating from the bench. KAYATTA MUST BE FILIBUSTERED!
